HUGE BLOCKBUSTER DEALS
ROLSTON HEADS TO BEAN TOWN:
In an early right out of the blocks move Sheldon Souray was sent West for Minnesota Lightning rod Brian Rolston. "We needed some help on D because we accidentally put all the goalies at the top of the draft order, followed by forwards, then d. We knew we were in trouble really early so moved quickly to land the cagey vet. This was before we found out that having all skaters on one team could be a disadvantage in yahoo leagues, after drafting basically only stains, then trading for more.
LUONGO SENT PACKING:
NHL superstar netminder and Fishy mancrush Roberto Luongo has been dealt with Nuk forward Taylor Pyatt for lesser known forward Johnathan Cheechoo and a goalie from somewhere out east.
"It was tough to part with the giant, but for the sake of the fish, we just felt it had to be done" said an unnamed AHL team shirt, who continued, "League morale is really important in these fantasy leagues, if players from Calgary, Dallas or Jersey are involved in deals, there needs to be some moral adjustment we think. We're grateful to the fish to recognize our emotional situation and accommodate accordingly."
BIG JOE GOES NORTH
In a second deal probably more astounding than the first, Joe Thornton, the real team captain in San Jose and recent league MVP has been sent to skate with a pile of kids. "Gaining a little veteran leadership at centre cost a huge blow in the Mike Cammalleri and Alexander Semin department", then further added, "but we're looking towards some younger kids stepping up. LIke really stepping up. We feel that Joe brings that kind of leadership to a team, the kind called scoring consistently and feeding the puck to Cheechoo all regular and often. And since his name is on the back of my kid's sweater, it was an important trade for our domestic situation as well."
